A Dead Man´s Song Songtext / Lyric

A Dead Man´s Song

I don´t know how long
this place´s been my home
I don´t know how long
I´ve been trying to write this song
the boys are all gone
oh-since 1981
they´ve left me
all alone

I´ve been trying
without a reason
just floating
with the stream of my heart
or what´s been
left of it

All I ever wanted
was the ultimate song
pure, true fulfillment of the heart

I´ve heard a million songs
I´ve seen a thousand bands
generations came along
shared my room, my house
but none´s ever noticed
me or my craft
they were too busy
with themselves

I´ve been trying
to get trough
but these mortals
were so ignorant
who needs
a dead man´s song

Once I had a love
who inspired all my songs
now, I´ve found you
would you sing along
to tell the audience
oh-about 81
about me
and my room
I´ve been trying
to escape
but for me every exit
is an entrance to this room

where they´ve left me
all alone.
